Determined: I know all about the fact that the pump needs gas in the tank to help with cooling. The simple fact is I just forgot to fill the tank.
I looked in my check book and found out that the last time any gas had been put in the Vue was eight weeks ago. Even with getting good mileage the vehicle is just not driven much anymore.
Also the gauge showed 3/8 of a tank when I left home this morning. I looked at the shape of the tank when I got home the bottom is much smaller than the top so the gauge is not linear. It will run much longer showing 1/2 or better. Then when you hit the 3/8 mark it drops like a rock.
I drove about 30-35 miles from 3/8 to running out. Five gallons of gas put it back up to around 5/8 of a tank. Then it took 7 more to get to full.
So 1/2 will be empty from now on IF I can remember to fill it.
